BAN THE BAG!

SIW Vegetables is BANNING THE BAG!

In our great efforts of going green and reflecting the farm’s culture of loving the environment & helping save our beautiful planet, SIW Veggies has decided to BAN all plastic bags at the farm!

-       The single use plastic bags pollute our landfills, road sides and oceans while requiring a lot of energy to produce. The average, useful life of each plastic bag is only around 12 minutes.

-       Plastic bags DO NOT DECOMPOSE. Because of their very resistant & synthetic polymers, they may take up to 1,000 YEARS or NEVER until they completely degrade in natural environments.

This is a ban on single use plastic bags. Moving forward as the season begins, we will replace plastic bags with biodegradable bags that you can toss in a compost bucket or trash at home. You may bring your own reusable bags or baskets when shopping at the farm stand. We will also be selling reusable bags for $1.25 at the stand for you to use which can be returned for a FULL refund.

Note: We will have a collection bin for those who wish to donate their unwanted reusable or canvas bags (absolutely NO plastic bags) for the taking. A neighborly way to help those that may forget their own bags.
